When the GB talks about pestilence post 1914, it is so incredibly ridiculous, when you look at diseases like the black plague where half of the entire european population died off. It was so terrible that in many cities a horse and carriage would come by daily to collect dead bodies.
Can you imagine over a four year period, half of the people you know dying to a disease? You can't. People living today simply can't imagine that.
How can you know this and still have a straight face when you tell people that we live in the end of days and the world has become worse since 1914. You simply can't. And this is just one of many terrible disasters humanity faced before 1914.
What does the society say about issues like this? Nothing. Just like on how many animals were in the ark. They don't say anything about stuff like this because they know it disproves the entire bible and their whole scam. They know, because they have people who spend their entire lives researching the bible and answering questions from readers. They are not ignorant. They know they are wrong.
